A Novel.
In evocative and dramatic prose, Emma Tennant unfolds a story of passion, conflict and betrayal as she reconstructs one of the 20th century's most famous literary love affairs - the tempestuous triangle of Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes and Assia Wevill. Filled with lurking danger and mounting suspense, this story climaxes in tragic fashion, leaving behind a hundred unanswered questions.
Emma Tennant was drawn to her subject partly as a result of her past relationship with Hughes - and because of the legends that surround him and the two women who loved him. Her prose is highly imaginative, and through it we learn of the literary circles in which the trio inhabited as well as of the complexities, needs and desires of three talented, but ultimately tortured individuals.
